Lightning prospect Adam Erne had a big day at USA Hockey's world junior championship evaluation camp with a goal, an assist and the decisive shootout goal in the United States' 4-3 victory over Finland.

Better yet, he did it in front of Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman, who was watching at Lake Placid, N.Y.

"Smart with the puck," Yzerman wrote in a text message about Erne's game. "Scored a nice power-play goal to tie the game in the third and then two nice ones in the shootout."

Erne, 18, drafted No. 33 overall in June, tied the game 3-3 7:24 into the third period. He also assisted on Mike Brodzinski's power-play goal 65 seconds earlier as the United States overcame a 3-1 deficit. Erne, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound left wing, then scored twice in the seven-round shootout, including the winner.
